[Verse 1]
I've been running around town
Feeling up and down
Taped up the windows at the house
But I ain't dead yet
Would you even pick me out in the crowd?
'Cause I can't recognize myself now
And I'm turning away help
Can you pull me out?
[Chorus]
I've been down
I've been down
[Verse 2]
You say there's no stupid questions
Only stupid people
Well, I've been feeling pretty foolish
Trying to get myself through this
And I've been watching too much TV
Looking up at the ceiling
It's been making me feel creepy
I'm just trying to shake this feeling
[Chorus]
I've been down
I've been down
I've been down (Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, baby)
Can you help me out? (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
[Verse 3]
I'm waking up at night, tick-tock, killing time
A little moonlight coming through the blinds
The love of my life sleeping by my side
But I'm still down
[Bridge]
I think that we need to come together
I think that we need to come together (You know I'm down)
I think that we need to come together
I think that we need to come together (You know I'm down)
[Chorus]
I've been down
I've been down
I've been down
Can you help me out?
I feel down (Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, baby)
I feel down (Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, honey)
I feel down (Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, baby)
Can you help me out? (Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, honey)

This is the last one we wrote on the album. This was super quick with stream-of-consciousness lyrics. I wanted it to sound like you were in the room, like you were right next to me. That chorus—‘I’ve been down, I’ve been down’—feels good to sing. It’s very therapeutic to just kind of scream it in so...
